Picture of the Week #42

As the weather is mild still,

my strawberry is blooming again.

Food for thought

Every morning is a fresh beginning.
Every day is the world made new. 
Today is a new day. 
Today is my world made new. 
I have lived all my life up to this moment, to come to this day. 
This moment - this day - is as good as any moment in all eternity. 
I shall make of this day - each moment of this day - a heaven on earth. 
This is my day of opportunity.  

Dan Custer

Make today great!
It is full of opportunities!

I was fascinated this morning with the

perfect dew drops on my Strawberry leaf.

To build and to cherish is much more difficult.”

My biggest strawberry to date.

Isn’t it perfect?

It will be served with cream!

“Nothing is worth more than this day. 
You cannot relive yesterday. 
Tomorrow is still beyond your reach.”

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

My first strawberry !

Today I harvested my first strawberry.

I shared it with a loved one,

of course with cream!

Yummy

There are more to come..

                                 

with more sunshine.

Yay

A joy in my garden

Strawberry Galore

My strawberries this year grew absolutely beautiful.

They bloomed a lot:

 

We seem to have had enough rain

and then the sun came.

I had more strawberries than ever.

Just look

 

A collage out of my many harvests.

 

and then came out the

Strawberry bowl to eat them out of.

 

 

Oh how yummy they were.

There are still now some late comers, I eat straight of the plant.

What a joy, what great gift!

Find the wonders of nature

In this dark and grey January

it is still possible to find

wonders of nature.

Encourage yourself to notice them.

Greet the sunshine and  birdsong in the morning,

look at the cloud formation,

see some blooms, cheering up the world.

Nature is a healer in many ways.

Always look with fresh eyes,

bringing wonders to your surroundings.

The wonders of Nature are endless.

Walt Disney
